U.S. Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross Appoints New Members to the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Advisory Committee

(November 8, 2018) - - Today, U.S. Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross announced the appointment of 39 members to the Department’s Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Advisory Committee (REEEAC). Initially established in 2010, and most recently renewed in June 2018, the REEEAC is composed of senior private sector representatives that provide advice to the Secretary of Commerce on the development and administration of programs and policies to expand the export competitiveness of U.S. renewable energy and energy efficiency products and services.

“It is essential for the United States to remain a global leader in the innovation, commercialization, and production of diverse technologies,” said Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross. “The foreign competitive challenges confronting American companies are immense, and the recommendations of the REEEAC will be critical in our continued efforts to ensure global markets are free, fair, and reciprocal.”

Since 2010, the REEEAC has provided 56 recommendations to address a wide range of issues, from the creation of market conditions necessary for developing a strong manufacturing base to the closure of critical gaps in export financing.

The next meeting of the REEEAC is scheduled for November 13, 2018 in Washington, D.C.
